PS Protocol
Sets the binary communications protocol (BCP) for communicating
over a parallel interface to a PostScript printer. See chapter 5, “Addi-
tional Technical Information,” for a full discussion of PS Protocol.
Spooling Timeout
Sets the number of seconds the interface waits for data from the host
before terminating a spooled print job.
Notes The printer must be restarted for changes to the menu to take
effect. You can either let the printer restart automatically after
you save the change and exit from the configuration menu, or
you can wait for the change to take effect the next time you
manually turn on the printer.
